    Description


    **SKILLBRIDGE to FULL-TIME EMPLOYMENT**

    Ready to shape the future of AI infrastructure and build systems that power the most advanced unstructured data pipelines in the world? We’re building the backbone of generative AI—enabling federal agencies, defense organizations, and public sector partners to transform PDFs, HTML, Word docs, images, and more into high-performance data pipelines that scale securely and reliably.

    Our tools already power mission-critical workloads for half of the Fortune 500, and our open-source package has been downloaded 36+ million times. Now, we’re entering our next chapter—bringing these same innovations to the US government—and we’re hiring a Software Engineer - Public Sector to help lead the charge.

    If you’re energized by solving hard technical problems that truly matter—and you want to build solutions that empower agencies and support national missions—this is your moment.

    • Solve deep technical challenges like data orchestration at scale, secure data flow optimization, and AI-first infrastructure for sensitive workloads.
    • Align engineering, product, and go-to-market teams to deliver solutions that meet public sector compliance and security needs.
    • Guide architectural decisions that balance innovation with risk mitigation.

    Benefits
